I have a custom FWI, TB Spacer, headers, DP, colder plugs, custom tune..... Does anybody else have or notice really high IAT temps?? I'm consistently in the 115-120* range when the car is not moving?? Any ideas of how to reduce the temps?? Thanks!!

Pics of the intake setup would be good. 120° is not bad for sitting and idling, if it's hot outside already. I think people with HAI's had like 170° in similar conditions, but thats a HAI for ya.

Intake is 3.5" tube wrapped in reflective wrap, with 45* angle from TB to hole in fender well

that's not even high, who cares?

Is this what everybody else is seeing too??Originally Posted by Bio248

it doesn't matter when you're moving. the motor creates heat, it's the nature of the beast.

Well what is the ambient temperature? 120° isn't bad.

With my stock box only gutted, sitting in stop and go traffic I'd get to 140* in june. SO 120* isn't bad. Also it is not a big deal for a high IAT at idle. If you start knocking at idle, I promise you it is not because of your IAT.

Cruising around at city speeds still seems high though, 100-110! I live in FL but it's usually around 90* out

That's fine. Your iat sensor isn't 100% accurate anyway. Also remember with a fender well intake, it's not too far from the ground, which is probably like 150°.

that IAT sensor doesn't really change ignition timing at all anyway, so what're you worried about?

He's probably just an accelerated version of me and wants it to be as efficient as possible, even though results are limited lol.

Definetly a FPFQ kinda guy.
